Audrey, heartbroken and perplexed about being finally rejected by the love of her life, turned to her friend Tiana for comfort. They found a quiet spot in the grove to talk about Audrey's daring plan to run away.Tiana greeted Audrey with a friendly smile, not knowing that Audrey was about to leave and that she was going through a difficult time.Audrey glanced around, ensuring that no prying eyes or listening ears were nearby. Taking a deep breath, she began, "Tiana, we need to talk. It's about the plan."Tiana's smile faded slightly, replaced with a curious expression. "What's going on, Audrey? Is something wrong?"Audrey hesitated for a moment, "I... I've made a decision. I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave, Tiana."Tiana's eyes widened in surprise and her voice was laced with concern. "Leave? But Audrey, what about the pack? What about our plan? What about Tyler?"On the mention of Tyler, her face squeezed. Her gaze dropped, "He's the main reason I want to leave. Don't y
The moonlight made the quiet grove look magical. Tiana, who was hidden in the dark, moved quietly and confidently through the shadows. She felt both excited and scared as her heart raced in her chest. She was going towards Lily's father's study room.Tiana recollected everything Audrey told her. Collect the journal, bring it to her and everything will be fine. She knew she did trust Audrey blindly but she did so because Audrey was the only person she felt close to in the entire pack. After her best friend died in an home accident they were both involved in 5 years ago, Audrey was the one who got closer to her and made her feel human again despite the huge scars she retained on her leg and arms.She was close to Lily before but felt the latter got too full of herself because Tyler, who was also her first crush fell for Lily, and even Jax, her second crush and "love of her life", couldn't leave Lily's side. Lily got everything she wanted and slowly, her disinterest in Lily turned to pur
~LILY'S POV~I felt the cold, hard chains that held me start to loosen a little as a vampire unchained me. One also did the same for Adrian who was a feet away from me. He told us we were being given a short break. It was then I realised we were back in the vampire cave or coven, I didn't even know. My body was weak but I managed to crawl to Adrian's side.My hands were shaking as I reached out to touch Adrian's tired and bruised body. It made me so sad to see him look so exhausted and lifeless. He was breathing shallowly, and his once lively eyes looked really tired.I pulled him close and hugged him tightly, relishing the comfort in our embrace. Everything else around us disappeared, and for a brief moment, it was just the two of us, holding onto each other desperately. I rested my cheek against his chest and felt his weak heartbeat, a fragile reminder of the strong spirit he had inside. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I kept on silently apologising to him for what he had to go t
Sarah and Aunt Belinda, after days of trekking, finally arrived at the grove. Absolutely tired, they went towards the area where Lily's parents and the elders had gathered. The atmosphere was tense, and people present were already talking. As they got closer to the high table, people couldn't help but look at them intently, hoping for any news.Rebekah stood up and couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Sarah and Aunt Belinda coming. "Is it true?" she asked, her voice shaking with both hope and fear. "Is Lily really alive?"Sarah nodded. "Yes, she's alive," she confirmed. "We found proof that she's out there and met someone who saw her."Aunt Belinda, with tears welling up in her eyes, said, "We followed the path and found evidence of a fight, footprints, and other clues that suggest she was taken by the vampires. But we have reasons to believe she's still alive."Henry stood up, with hope and worry on his face, and stepped closer, "Please tell us everything." His voice was steady but
In the midst of the destruction caused by the bomb explosion, the grove came together. They were more than determined to find out who was responsible. Thank the goddess only a few women and men were hurt.Henry implored the surviving warriors to take the injured ones in to be treated of their wounds and the others, to take charge of the investigation, carefully searching the area for any clues or evidence that could help identify the person behind the attack.As they searched through the wreckage with their senses alert, a shadowy figure moved stealthily through the darkness, like a predator on the prowl. They didn't know a vampire had taken advantage of the chaos to infiltrate their ranks.Silently, the vampire slipped through the area, scanning his surroundings. He had a clear goal in mind—to find the ancient journal that contained powerful secrets. With the journal in his possession, he believed he could please his master and his people could gain an advantage over the werewolves.
One of the search teams found a hidden cave deep in the middle of the forest. The entrance was covered with thick plants, making it a rather obvious spot for someone to hide the stolen journal.The one who spotted it quickly signalled out to the other teams and they all gathered at the cave. They approached cautiously, on high alert, knowing that there could be danger lurking inside.As they entered the cave, their footsteps echoed against the walls. And there it was—the stolen journal, placed on a rock. They felt relieved and triumphant. Their hard work had paid off.Lily's father reached out, his hand trembling as he took hold of the journal. It represented their hopes, secrets, and the strength they shared. Now that they had the journal back, they could continue preparing for the upcoming battle.Meanwhile, Don and Tyler couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling they got, as did Henry who told them to file out and keep a formation so they could be ready for any sneak attack.Don walked
Jaxon walked into the poorly lit cave where his father took as a hideout. The rocks were wet but the walls were warm enough to keep them from shivering from the cold.Jaxon looked into Pablo's tired eyes, showing a hint of worry."What news do you have for me, my son?" Pablo said as he roasted a fish on top of the campfire he made."Father," Jaxon said urgently, "Alpha Rex is dead. The pack is in chaos, and we need to figure out what to do next."Pablo's expression hardened, realizing the seriousness of the situation but then he smiled mischievously. "That's too bad," he replied. "Rex was a strong and capable leader. I remember when I fought for his army…" He looked up as if basking in nostalgia but then he pulled his thoughts together, "His death creates new opportunities for us."Jaxon leaned closer to him, speaking quietly. "Tell me, Father. What's our plan now? How do we move forward?"There were footsteps behind them and Jaxon instinctively held his dagger in his belt buckle, rea
She reached out to him, her touch gentle but urgent.Tyler, losing strength, looked into her eyes but saw Lily's eyes. He gasped when he realised it was Lily, holding him and staring at him with her black but dreamy eyes. His voice strained. "Lily, Lily it's you…I... I don't know if I can fight this," he confessed. "I feel it taking over." He shouted in pain.Lily held onto Tyler's arm tightly, refusing to let go. "No, Tyler," she said firmly. "You can fight this. We'll find a way to save you."Tyler bit his lips as the pain got more intense, "Ahhhh!" He let out a soulful cry."Violetta! What are you doing?!" A male Omega screamed from the other side of the field."The General! He's down!" She shouted back.Erik moved swiftly across to them, killing each vampire in the way, and examined Tyler, "You can fight this…just hold on." He said to Tyler and shifted his gaze to Violetta, "Get him to safety. I'll cover you."Violetta nodded back and held Tyler's back, with his hand over her shou
